Snow as a cause of soil erosion - methodological approach of determination

Original language description

Spring thawing of snow can cause soil erosion. Its intensity is given mainly by water amount of snow, melting speed and soil infiltration capacity. In some regions of the Czech Republic, especially in slope areas with high amount of snow the early spring erosion can be significant factor of soil degradation. The paper introduces a relevant method to assess erosive potential of snow cover. The case study of its determination was carried out for long-term period on the base of available and comprehensive data of Czech Hydrometeorological Institute. Applied data were i) depth of snow cover, ii) water amount of snow, iii) depth of soil freezing.
